From memory (which isnt great being 5yrs ago and the brain after just giving birth etc)
and alot from what ive been told from DH.

I delivered bub, drug free i had some artificial water breaking (after my waters broke) as it broke and some of it didnt and was hanging around bubs head and the exit..

I laboured standing up, i couldnt stand still, it was painful to lay down.. my body was saying 'move and keep moving and we can deal with the pain' so i did..
I did have alot of internals (all requested by me) partly because with each shift change the midwife did not believe i was that far into labour and another at the end again because altho i didnt feel any urges to push there came i time where i just knew i could push (i think they were weirded out that i was smiling??!! and calm??!!)

I pushed/delivered standing up bent over the foot of the hospital bed.
i dont remember what happened much after that.. but the cord was clamped, bub taken away crying to get dried, checked?(she scored a 9) and bundled up in blanket.. meanwhile i was on the bed asked if i wanted the synotocin for the placenta (which i thought was normal to have??!! i gave my consent)

Im not sure when the pushing on the tummy happened..the placenta was delivered heaps quick and was checked.. i do know that they kept pushing on my tummy and blood kept coming.. hubby says the midwifes (2-3 now in room) looked quite worried and one left to get someone more in charge or with more experience was asked to come in and check.. the bleeding eased up, i was never told there was a problem.. i grazed only.. (im not sure what that meant) but my labia minora was torn on 1 side(is that the 'graze?') By the time they were looking it, it had stopped bleeding and they were happy not to stitch up and so was i!

clearly if i did PPH i would have been told and put on a transfusion and had to lay still or something??
was the pushing or massaging of the uterus really neccessary? how could i clot if all the blood is being pushed out (if thats why they do it) Is there any reason why i cant do the massage myself? is the massage necessary when breastfeeding?
At my whatever-week-checkup all was fine and good with uterus size.
Its something thats been on my mind all these years and im not sure i want anyone touching my belly after the bub is out.. im wondering if how i laboured and delivered had anything to do with how much i bled?
I wasnt told anything about the bleeding (i can understand why) but DH was left to worry and wasnt told anything either..

id appreciate any help and links if u have any! TIA
srry if ive put this in the wrong place..
